The Wheel of Chronos

Lie.

Kakutani Satoko walked down the steps gracefully and quietly like a cat, stood in front of the two of them, raised his right index finger above his red lips, signaling for silence.Immediately, she raised her bracelet, clicked on the holographic screen, and quickly typed a string of words for the two of them to see.

[Don't be nervous, I have no malicious intentions.I am the person appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to secretly protect you, and I am only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor.If you want to leave, I have to follow you out of duty. 】

Tianyang and Xue Lun looked at each other, but they didn't immediately trust them.As a representative, Tianyang clicked on his bracelet and began to talk to Satoko Kakutani.

[Both of our wristbands have blocked the Internet, and now we can't contact your mother to confirm your identity, so you should stop following us, we can't trust you. 】

【No, if I lose my job, I will lose all the powers I have now, lose my job, and there are old people in my family who need to support me. I can't take this risk.Also please forgive me. ] Satoko Kakutani wrote.

Tianyang hesitated a little, she knew her mother.Although she is gentle and always insists on being kind to others, she is a superior after all, and she especially values ​​her relatives. Compared with subordinates, relatives are naturally more important.She has the right to command her subordinates, and gives both kindness and majesty. If the subordinate fails to complete the task because the task is too difficult, it is lack of ability, and she will not impose punishment.But if the subordinate gives up the task before completing the task, it is dereliction of duty, and she will really make a punishment of resignation as a warning to others, which is predictable.

[Did my mother give you a handwritten document, or a direct instruction code as a proof? 】 Tianyang asked again.

The other party shook his head and wrote: 【Due to the urgent time this time, His Majesty the Emperor gave me verbal instructions directly through the secret line phone. Princess, you understand that the secret line phone will not leave recordings and call records. 】

This is troublesome, should I trust her, or keep a distance from her?After much deliberation, we can only make tactical use first.While remaining alert, maximize the value of the other party.Tian Yang glanced at Xue Lun, who was thinking the same idea and understood Tian Yang's meaning almost instantly, so she nodded quickly.

Tianyang typed a line on the text interface of the bracelet:

【Okay, let's just trust you.Do you have another way to get us out of here? 】

Kakutani Satoko turned his head to look at the two male members of the armed security department who were reluctant to leave below, smiled, and issued a command with his bracelet.Not long after, I heard a conversation coming from downstairs:

"Hey, the director is coming to inspect, let's go back quickly. Don't let people find us leaving the post, that would be bad."

"Alas... troublesome."

Immediately there were footsteps and the sound of the door opening, and the two male team members left the corridor.

Satoko Kakutani said in a low voice: "You want to go through the back kitchen, go now, I will wait for you at the gate of the second north gate of the Academy of Sciences."

The second north gate is the nearest small gate to the guest house.Due to the remoteness of this gate, usually only the trucks of the guest house pass by, and the trucks come every day at four or five o'clock in the morning, and leave after supplying the food and goods needed for the day by the guest house.Then until four or five o'clock the next day, almost no one would pass by this road.The security guard at the North Second Gate is an elderly man with hearing problems, and he has to say it several times before he can hear clearly.Tianyang and Xue Lun could think of such an excellent route, and of course Satoko Kakutani, who was familiar with the park of the National Academy of Sciences, could also think of it.

Sometimes, the defense is not monolithic, deliberately leaving a small gap, but it can bring better security.This is a defense on the psychological level, and Satoko Kakutani is obviously an expert in it.

Tianyang took the lead down the stairs to the second floor, and Xue Lun took one last look at Satoko Kakutani and followed.Tianyang waited at the door without moving for a while, she had to follow Xue Lun closely.Sharon led her into the corridor on the second floor, and walked silently along the carpet. Right now, the rooms on both sides of the corridor are full of people from the armed security department. If anyone opens the door at this time, they will be bumped into is on.Fortunately, probably because of Satoko Kakutani's inspection order, all the members of the Armed Security Division stayed in the house on standby, and they arrived at the restaurant on the second floor smoothly.

Follow the east corner of the restaurant all the way to the back kitchen, and after entering the back kitchen, you are out of the scope of the surveillance camera.Sharon didn't turn off the signal shielding, but her speed of action was obviously faster.

The back kitchen was pitch black, and the air was filled with the smell of oily smoke, and there was a faint mixture of food aroma and dishwashing liquid smell, which was not pleasant.Xue Lun put the new energy wolf-eye flashlight on her shoulder bag, and successfully groped for the location of the food elevator.She opened the door of the freight elevator first, and the freight elevator stopped on the first floor, so she pressed the up button again, and the elevator hummed and slowly ascended.During this process, Tianyang spoke to her:

"Is that Satoko Kakutani really appointed by my mother? Why didn't my mother get through with me beforehand?"

"Is His Majesty the Emperor's style of doing things always like this?" Xue Lun asked.

"No, according to the standard of special personnel guards, both open and secret whistles are necessary, and it is not surprising that there are secret whistles. Sometimes my mother will act without telling my mother and me."

"Then you still ask me this question, how would I know?" Sharon said speechlessly.

Tianyang shrugged and said: "The key thing I find suspicious is that if Satoko Kakutani belongs to my mother, then she has worked in the Academy of Sciences for so many years, and she is the person my mother placed in the Academy very early on. ?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out," Sharon said.

"Hey...how could there be side effects, if we take her into action, we will be tied up."

"Do you have a choice now?" After asking this sentence, the elevator has arrived, and the two of them worked together to remove the shelves in the elevator to make a space for two people to enter. Xue Lun said:

"You go in first, I will operate outside, and then go in."

Tianyang made an OK gesture, then got into the freight elevator first, curled up his body into a ball, Xue Lun pressed the door close button outside, then quickly clenched the interior of the freight elevator closest to the button, adjusted his posture, and stretched out his hand , before the freight elevator door closed, he pressed the down button.Although she moved quickly and accurately during this process, she was still almost caught in her arm.

"Ah... I'm sweating all over, the design of this freight elevator is really unreasonable." Xue Lun said.

"After all, you can't let the food press the down button by itself." Tianyang laughed.

Sharon snorted in response to her cold joke.Tianyang thinks this guy is so arrogant and cute, he always has a serious face, but occasionally he will show a little girl's feeling.After all, she is only a 26-year-old young woman. No matter how deep and introverted she is after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, she will not be portrayed by the years as a real middle-aged person.On the contrary, she has a tenacious and unyielding vigor that many teenagers don't have.

Fortunately, after the goods arrive, the door of the freight elevator will open automatically without manual control, otherwise the two of them will be locked in the freight elevator and cannot get out.

After getting out of the elevator, Tianyang complained:

"Your leather jacket is stained with oil, it's not my fault."

"The clothes are given to you, so they don't belong to me. Why should I blame you?" Xue Lun said.

"Whoever says it's not yours, I'm the one..." Tian Yang suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.Sharon turned her head to look at her, and asked "Huh?" inquiringly.

"It's nothing." Tianyang smiled.

"I'm all yours" such flirtatious words, Tian Yang would not say it, it's a bit frivolous, and Xue Lun obviously doesn't like frivolous people, so it's better not to say it.

Having said that, this guy should be a sister control, should I rely on the image of her sister... Tian Yang looked at Xue Lun's back with scrutiny, thinking seriously.But two seconds later, she denied her thoughts.It's so stupid, if Sharon doesn't like the real Mu Tianyang himself, then what's the point.She has always liked challenging things, and she listed this as the top project that must be tackled in the near future.

When she opened the door of the back kitchen's purchase passage, Xue Lun felt a chill behind her back.Looking back, Tian Yang smiled at her, and Xue Lun showed suspicion:

"Are you planning something?"

"Ah?!" Tianyang was startled, what is meant by "planning something" is too much.She just wanted to be nice to her.

"Hush!" Tian Yang's voice really startled Xue Lun, and quickly raised his hand to cover her mouth, they are absconding, do they have such pig teammates, fortunately she is still an active soldier.

Tianyang was very depressed at the moment. Although she appreciated Xue Lun's flustered expression, she couldn't kiss the palm of Xue Lun's hand, because this guy was wearing half-finger tactical gloves.

Of course, Tian Yang is not really disrespectful, her voice is not enough to alarm the people in the building.

The two quickly left the vicinity of the guest house, and walked quietly along the road to the second north gate, sticking to the base of the wall.There are cameras on this road, but similarly, they can also be covered by a blocker. The two of them successfully reached the gatekeeper in the dark, slipped through the fence, and exited the Academy of Sciences from the blind spot under the gatekeeper's window, facing the gatekeeper. Turn in an unseen direction.

Before walking 20 meters away, I saw Satoko Kakutani waiting by the roadside.The other party waved to them and said:

"My car is parked on the side of the road ahead, come with me."

Xue Lun and Tian Yang hesitated a little, Satoko Kakutani didn't seem to care about their distrust of her, and turned around to lead the way.Tianyang made a tactical gesture to Xue Lun: give instructions.

Sharon thought for a while, and returned a gesture: stay vigilant and play by ear.

They cautiously followed Satoko Kakutani, and slowly walked east along the empty road outside the North Second Gate of the Academy of Sciences to the end of the road, where a T-junction was formed, and a wider avenue intersected with this road. Inside the opposite courtyard wall is the Science and Technology Conference Center, which is actually an affiliated institution of the Academy of Sciences. This large piece of land is the property of the Academy of Sciences.

Not far from the left turn, there was indeed an off-road vehicle parked. Satoko Kakutani walked to the side of the car, unlocked the car, but did not rush into the cab, but turned around and said to the two people who were keeping a distance behind. :

"Which of you will drive? I don't know where you are going, I am only in charge of guarding."

Xue Lun and Tian Yang exchanged glances with each other, turned their backs at the same time, and quickly exchanged gestures.

Sharon gestured: I'll go.

Tianyang made a gesture: I will observe.

That means, when Xuelun was driving, Tianyang was in charge of leading Satoko Kakugu to sit in the back seat and watch over her.

So the two moved forward, Xuelun sat straight into the driver's cab, Tianyang dragged Satoko Kakutani into the back seat.Xue Lun was not in a hurry to start the car, but first confirmed through the perspective function of the digital prosthetic eye that no explosives or tracking and monitoring devices were installed on the car, and then started the car and set off.

Kakutani Satoko maintained a helpless smile the whole time, and she did not make any excuses for the suspicion of the two.

After driving for 10 minutes, the car was extremely quiet.Sharon was observing if there was any follower behind her, and she didn't plan to reveal their whereabouts immediately.So for 10 minutes, they just drove around on the road near the Academy of Sciences.Although it seems to be spinning, the direction is actually shifting. The direction of the airport is 70 kilometers south of the Academy of Sciences, and the direction of Xue Lun's driving has been heading southeast.

Another 5 minutes later, Sharon got rid of her doubts about tracking and started driving to the airport.

"You guys won't be able to pass the airport security check." Satoko Kakutani said suddenly, "Have you bought a ticket yet?"

"Don't worry about it," Sharon said.

"I have to worry, because I didn't buy a plane ticket." Satoko Kakutani said with a wry smile.

"We'll talk about it at the airport." Tianyang said.

In fact, at this time Tianyang and Xue Lun had already tacitly planned to get rid of Satoko Kakutani at the airport.

However, things obviously didn't go their way. Not long after Sharon drove the car onto the only highway leading to the airport, red and blue lights flashed alternately in front of her, and a roadblock appeared.In front of the roadblock, four traffic policemen in reflective uniforms and holding glow sticks signaled the car to stop.

Sharon stepped on the brakes to slow down, and her mind began to spin rapidly.

"Traffic control, please show your wristband ID." The leading traffic policeman saluted.

It's really...unlucky, Sharon sighed inwardly.
